Google+, can we please have an option to turn off the “auto-awesome” animated gifs in desktop Chrome? They are an unpleasant and unwelcome addition to G+, and the Chrome GifStopper extension can’t block them.
I like how gifs are click-to-play on Android. The same on desktop G+ would be a HUGE step forward.
And I don’t get this general obsession with short vine like videos. I agree with you I am too finding those gifs or is it jifs irritating.
I think you can disable it: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/3113884?hl=en
Eric Lloyd – that’s to turn it off for photos that I upload. I want to disable animation for other people’s uploads.
Ah – I see. That would be useful…..
+Chris Dolan Have you tried running Android 4.2.2 in virtual box. Not ideal but might solve your problem.
Nate Schmolze – clever idea, but a bit heavyweight for the scale of the problem. But thanks for putting it in perspective 🙂
